There Will Be Rainbows After Rain

Episode 13's

Irena stared at her mother and sister who were sitting at the table eating. The wall clock is showing at 9 p.m. From 8 pm, they just sat down to eat and did not say a single word.

What's up with these guys? This situation makes me even more uncomfortable.

Irena asked in her heart. The girl breathed out her heavy breath.

"From that Irena pay attention to silence all the time, again on a toothache huh?" Irena asked while peeling the orange fruit.

"Emm .. There's nothing if I. Mother who seems to have nothing. Try asking yourself" replied Kania.

"That's important, did you give me an explanation?" ask Mother.

Irena was surprised by "Mother! Come on, Mom, Irena knows why you're like this. Let's just say we are not a match, anyway the person until now also not visible stem nose"

Mother frowned and said in a loud tone "Don't you think I don't know Ren why, you rejected them. You are still selfish, you do not think about the feelings of those around you. Not only do you feel lost, we all feel lost too. But don't make it a worry that makes yourself suffer. I'm tired of it if you keep this up. Your suffering is suffering for us too"

Instantly, Irena's anger broke into tears, tears dripping down her cheeks. Irena hasn't seen her mother like this in a long time. Even his mother who he saw always rigid story, now could be as weak as this just because of him. He is selfish.

Irena went into the room and locked the door of her room, she did not want the situation to get more chaotic if she continued to answer what her mother said. Better he win himself over and contemplate what he has done so painfully to his mother.

"Am I that selfish? Am I wrong to reject them? I also want my own choice, I also want to be like the other girls, get married, have a family. But it's not time yet"

Suddenly Irena's phone rang, Irena immediately moved to see who called her last night.

"Assalamualaikum" said Rudi.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, what's wrong sir?" ask Irena.

"I'm in front of your house, can you come out for a minute? I was gonna take you out to dinner and have a chat. But right in front of the house I see it looks lonely. So I just passed by

Wahh, how come this is someone? Did he hear our commotion?

Irena asked in her heart.

"E-yes for a minute sir, I'm ready first"

"Where are you ready? E-no need" replied Rudi who was not ready to talk but Irena immediately turned off her phone when.

Irena changed her clothes and got ready. Incidentally when there was a commotion, Rudi came and he wanted to come out also to calm himself more.

Irena just bailed to Kania, "Dec, big sister go for a while, find the wind. The key to the house has been brought by you, if you come home a little night"

"Where are you going?" ask Kania.

Irena did not answer Kania's question, the girl immediately left her.

He only wears regular casual clothes and wears Fipper Slipper flip-flops. With a makeshift style, because for Irena wearing flip-flops more comfortable for him. Except at certain moments.

Irena knocked and immediately opened the door of Rudi's car "Take the road Sir"

Rudi looked shocked, the heart only wanted to give food to Irena but Irena instead thought that they would go out. With this time last night, he seemed to feel uneasy.

"HAA! You want us to go? It's already night. Is your mom going to be angry?" ask Rudi.

During the journey Rudi still seemed agitated and thought, is it okay to bring a girl person this night? It's still 9 o'clock, but... "Okay, I'm gonna go to the toilet for a minute"

Rudi stopped his car in the SPBU toilet, he chose to try to contact Irena's mother.

"Fortunately from the beginning of work, my mother's number I saved so I can call for a moment to ask permission to bring her child" Rudi said in his heart.

*****

Irena's mother still looked sad and upset by the commotion tonight. He kept thinking about Irena Bahkab as he again washed the dishes. But suddenly his phone rang ...

"Assalamualaikum Ma'am" said Rudi grogi.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, who is it?" answer Irena's mother.

"This is me, Mum, Rudi. Do you remember? The one that came home yesterday with the fruit when Irena was sick. I remember the same"

"Oh yes Iren's boss, right? What's up, huh? It's in the room, is the phone off until you call my number?"

"Oh no ma'am, I just want to say that E-nggg Irena again with me, I was just going to eat for Mom and family, but Irena thought it was just getting out. I don't mean that, Mom, I don't mean anything. I'm afraid Iren must not have the permission of Mother, especially last night, I certainly can not give permission to come out. That's why I just call Mom just so there is no misunderstanding right" said Rudi who seemed afraid Iren's mother would be angry.

"Oh, that's okay, I know, no problem. He has my permission, you be careful. Do not go far too and do not go very far behind. Not good with neighbors will be thought of as a kind. Titip Irena is the same as you" replied Irena's mother who agreed.

"Surely ma'am, thank you Mom, once again I'm so sorry" said Rudi.

"It's okay, as long as it makes Irena more calm and comfortable. I want to continue again, again wash pring because, take care of Irena yes Mr. Boss. Assalamu'alaikum"

"Wa'alaikumsalam" replied Rudi.

There was anxiety and fear in Iren's mother, but she could also understand why her son was like that. Maybe he really needs calm after the commotion that happened earlier.

But it is undeniable that he also seems happy, there seems to be a man who makes it comfortable, not usually Irena go with any man, but with Rudi she herself chooses to leave. Maybe this is the first step for him to be close to men.

Rudi turned back to the car and said "sorry I was a long time ago, I just called your mother. No way my dong go that way, bring his favorite girl again. Can blacklist nak be my prospective dong mantu" joked Rudi.

"Okay, where are you going now?" ask Rudi.

OMG! Mother's phone, isn't it wrong? Dare to know, but where is Mom's number? If I ask her, she's a kegeeran. Tomorrow I will be asked, Irena said in her heart.

"Hemm, we go to Cafe Live Music just sir, let's be calmer, I'm also a little hungry anyway a little not much HEHEHEE"

"Nhukk .. Uhukk .. From now on if again outside the office it seems better to call Rudi aja deh, do not you call Father. Looks old to me later. Can you?" ask Rudi.

"Rudi! Rrrruuuu"

HAHAHAHAAY!

Irena laughed when she called Rudi's name. His eyes sparkled brightly back. It's ticklish maybe because you're not used to it.

I am so happy and happy to see you laughing like Ren, as much as I can try to make you happy. Thank you God, You brought him into my life and thank you Ren, you allowed me to be closer to you, Rudi said in his heart while smiling thinly like his moustache.
